The top group of findings by AdwCleaner are PUPs which stands for Potentionally Unwanted Programs. In the instructions below, I will list them all to be removed.

The section at the bottom under "Preinstalled Software" is software that was apparently installed when the device was new. Note, for example "Dell Power Manager" and Dell Support Agent Assistant, which you may or may not use. The non-Dell items, however, I've never seen before. Rivet Networks creates networking software and Smartbyte is apparently software developed by Rivet Networks. Feel free to keep or remove the "Preinstalled Software".

Right-click on esetonlinescanner_enu.exe and select Run as Administrator.

Click on Get Started.

Another window will appear - select Get Started. Select whether you would like to send anonymous data to ESET.

Click on the Full Scan option.

Click on the option to Enable ESET to detect and remove potentially unwanted applications, and select Start scan.

ESET will now begin scanning your computer. This may take some time.

When the scan is finished and if threats have been detected, select Save scan log. Save it to your desktop with a name like ESETlog.txt. Click on Continue.

ESET Online Scanner may ask if you'd like to turn on the Periodic Scan feature. Click on Continue.

On the next screen, you can leave feedback about the program if you wish. Check the box for Delete application data on closing. If you left feedback, click Submit and continue. If not, Close without feedback.

On your desktop, a file will be created called ESETlog.txt. Open it, then copy and paste its contents into your next reply.

Malwarebytes isn't removed by that tool since it is an extremely popular application used for scanning systems for malware. If you do not wish to keep it installed, it can be uninstalled from Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features.

As to updating to the current version of Windows 10, I was concentrating on 1909 and realized that your PC is actually two versions behind as Version 1903 was released last spring and 1909 in the fall. The end of service for Version 1809 is May 12, 2020. Please see the instructions provided by Greg Carmack at windows update from 1809 to 1909 windows 10 - Microsoft Community. I've "known" Greg for many years and know his instructions are good. Let us know if you are unable to complete the upgrade and I will provide further advice on where you can obtain assistance.

Hello! Please do not respond until later this week. I've been postponing my response again. This isn't urgent because I just keep avoiding update my system. Weeks ago, I clicked on https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-update-from-1809-to-1909-windows-10/1e753a03-1368-49e4-9e21-d33868f18972I started having issues again. I had to abort several times--it took minutes for only like 10% or less progress. I couldn't get anything updated. In addition, I've been getting a few emails stating my accounts have been closed because of activity which I think our spams/virus emails. I even had issues with my internet server and now should have protection. I'm unsure what I clicked on but unable to updated my windows. Should I start removing everything or run another analysis?

In addition, I've been getting a few emails stating my accounts have been closed because of activity which I think our spams/virus emails.

Phishing attempts definitely seem to be on the increase lately. First, consider whether any of your accounts have outstanding payments due. When you open the email, do you see the full address -- not just the company name but the full email address? Consider, for example, an email I received that showed it was from service@intl.paypal.com. I knew it was a phishing attempt, PayPal logo in the email and all. The actual from address was ser‎vi‎ce@intl.p‎ay‎‎pal.c‎om <customer-htqxnmvr1312280@noreply.com> (reported as phishing and blocked)

If memory serves, it took about an hour to upgrade from 1809 to 1903, and that was on a solid state laptop. It took probably 15 minutes longer for my other one which has a spinning hard drive. The upgrade from 1903 to 1909 went fairly quickly since it wasn't as big an update. You're going from 1809 to 1909 so I should think an hour isn't unreasonable.

You are doing a rather major upgrade, so it may not go as quickly as you think it should. Times will vary widely depending on how much updating your computer needs, your download speed, age of hardware, etc.

There are a lot of phishing attempts for Amazon Prime at the moment, sent by crooks trying to steal info. The emails look legit with the logo, etc, but the sending email address is something besides amazon.com

Thank you both for responses/comments! I started the update again last night--it took at least 2 hrs... It seems to be fine so far... I will definitely keep coding them as junk but use phishing too. It does feel like hackers are getting aggressive and disguising the emails/texts. They almost look very legit. I'll keep being careful!
